Arishmel Gap
A ‘V’-shaped feature of the coastline between Kimmeridge and Lulworth Cove, the Arishmel Gap is a deeply cut notch in the coastline, now strewn with rusting tanks and armoured vehicles used as targets for the nearby British Army gunnery ranges.
Nash made a single watercolour of the feature during 1935, his most productive year in Dorset.
